Disc Explorer® system (DVP-CX777ES)
With 400 discs of entertainment at your beck and call, the DVP-CX777ES
promises that you'll never need to rummage through your shelves or fumble with
jewel boxes, searching for the movies and music you want. But delivering on this
promise required a fast, easy, electronic way to identify and access your discs.
That's exactly what the Disc Explorer system provides. Using your television
screen as a Graphic User Interface, the Disc Explorer system delivers easy, on-
screen access to your discs alphabetically by title, by disc type, by genre and by
"folders" that you can organize and name. The player loads information
regarding your 400 discs into memory, so it's always available for instant access
and display.
ƒ
Sort by disc type. The player automatically recognizes disc type such as
DVD and CD. So you can scan discs by type.
ƒ Sort by slot number. The DVP-CX777ES holds each disc in a sequentially
numbered slot. The changer makes it easy to sort and access discs by slot
number.
ƒ Sort by title using CD, SA-CD, DVD Text and Disc Memo® function.
Many discs have text, including disc title, encoded on the signal layer. This
information is automatically memorized and displayed by the DVP-CX777ES.
In cases where discs do not already have titles, you can create titles using the
Disc Memo function. You can also use Disc Memo operation to store artist
name, date of purchase or other information about a disc. You can then
search discs alphabetically by title.
ƒ Keyboard Input. Sony gives you two ways to enter text information for each
disc. Use the remote control keys to input any character or plug an industry-
standard PC keyboard into the front panel connector and type!
ƒ Jacket Pictures recorded onto DVDs appear automatically. If there is no
jacket picture, you can create one by freezing any scene on the DVD.
ƒ Sort by folders. Sony enables you to organize the 400 discs into four sub-
groups. While the folders are initially labeled "A" through "D," you can assign
them personalized names, like DAD, KID or JAZ. Even when assigned to
these custom folders, discs still appear in the standard folders for "All, "DVD,"
and "CD."
ƒ Sort by genre. You can also sort movies and music by types. So you can
immediately scroll through an on-screen list of all your Sci-Fi DVDs, for
example, or all your Country Music discs. All told, Sony provides ten movie
genres and six music genres, for easy sorting.
